Recent respective form guides

Doncaster Rovers's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Rovers have scored 4, a worringly large 7 have been leaked at the other end.

Brentford's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. A generous 8 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Doncaster Rvs.'s 59 points from 43 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Brentford find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 43 games have yielded only 34 points.
